RAM Upgrade for MSI GE70

Hello there.
I'm considering upgrade my system too. But my own has a 4th generation chipset. So, I've some questions:
1: May I use 1.35v RAM?
2: Can I know RAM type currently installed in my MSI GE70? (es.msi.com/product/nb/GE70-2OC.html#specification)
3: Is it posible to plug in two diferent RAM types?
Thanks!

1: May I use 1.35v RAM?
You MUST use 1.35v DDR3L. Mobile Haswell cpus don't work with other ram.

2: Can I know RAM type currently installed in my MSI GE70? (es.msi.com/product/nb/GE70-2OC.html#specification)
There is no general answer. This is oem ram. Any batch might use different sticks. You need to open the unit to find out what is used in your machine.

3: Is it posible to plug in two diferent RAM types?
Possible yes, recommended no. It might work fine but can cause stability issues. A matched kit is recommended.

Ram upgrade for mac Book Pro mid 2009

Hi, I just bought 2x Kingston 4GB ram upgrades for mid-2009 MacBook Pro. First I don't notice any difference in speed. Second, the computer (in about this mac, activity monitor) doesn't seem to acknowledge it now has 8gb of ram not 4gb. Why would these be so?

You should be able to install 8GB I would check to make sure it has a secure connection. Maybe one of the RAM sticks is bad, or the port itself is bad.

They both state that they can support up to 8GB of RAM.

Where is the cheapest place to buy 8gb ram upgrade for my early 2009 iMac?

Where is the cheapest place to buy 8gb ram upgrade for my early 2009 iMac, I have bought before but current upgrade is causing mac to crash randomly!? Need to know a place I can buy Ram which is confirmed to work my my mac model, the current upgrade is working but Mac is very unstable.

I meant more reasonable priced than apple
That'll be almost anywhere else then!
Yes, if it is made by Crucial and confirmed as suitable for your model of mac you will be fine. You can also buy direct from Crucial:

which is what I would do (did).

Hard Drive and RAM upgrades for latest 15" MBP

I'm minutes from ordering a new MBP. Only concerns are whether I get hte Apple upgrades or shop around.
I like this Hard Drive...
http://www.compu2000.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=6433
And this RAM upgrade...
http://www.a-power.com/product-10937-311-4
If these are equivalent to the apple options I can save hundreds and get a 320 GB drive, which will make a great portable.
So, does my plan hold water?

You're on your own for support when you do your own upgrades like this, but generally speaking, it works fine.
Note that HDD is less risky than RAM. With RAM you run the risk of unstable behavior that is tougher to diagnose. That said, a quality RAM upgrade and some initial testing with any of many available tools is as good as a factory build.
HDD upgrades are less risky, and I've upgraded (well, replaced after HDD death) ones in my MBPs many many times. I crunch my hard drives more than normal and have to generally replace them about every year. Some of the MBPs don't make this easy, and prepare to get all sorts of cozy with little 0 and 1 sized Phillips screwdrivers and some T6 as well, but it is doable (just not quite for the truly faint of heart).
Again, you're on your own for support once you do this, so weigh that in your decision.

Cost/benefit of RAM upgrade for iMac G5 2 GHz from 1.5 to 2.0 GB

Equipment: iMac 20" 2.0 GHz, 250 GB HD, originally 500 MB RAM upgraded to 1.5 GB: (1) 500 MB and (1) 1 GB DDR SDRAM, PC3200U-30330.
Not understanding the subtleties of memory upgrades, I bought this off the shelf with 500 MB RAM. When the processor board was replaced, I added a 1 GB RAM and can't say I noticed any change in performance. It does reduce the need for page outs.
After this, I read something about needing to have the DIMMs matched for there to be a performance gain. Or maybe this related to 64 bit operation? I read elsewhere in the Discussions that 64 bit operation would actually consume more memory and reduce performance.
If I upgraded to 2.0 GB, would there be any improvement in performance? In general or only in certain situations?
If I upgrade RAM, I'll have (2) useless 500 MB DIMMs. Is there any value in these? Where is the best place to sell them or do they have value as trade-ins?
Or is the best use of the money to put towards an Intel Mac that can support 10.6+ ?(...or a share or two of Apple stock.)
Please convey your wisdom. Thanks.
P.S. I know the stock is the best use of my money, so just consider the hardware options.

I happened to find this answer while looking for something else.
iMac G5 and iMac G5 (Ambient Light Sensor): Benefit of using matching memory modules (RAM) http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2708
Condensed version:
Applies only to original iMac G5 and iMac G5 (Ambient Light Sensor).
*If it has matching DIMMS it operates with a 128-bit data path, otherwise it uses a 64-bit data path.* A 128-bit data path allows greater throughput than a 64-bit data path. This allows faster manipulation of large files. With a 128-bit bus, you would see better performance when you have multiple applications open at the same time. Also, some enhanced gaming performance.
According to this, I was getting better performance before I added the 1 GB of RAM, except that degraded performance due to stuffing RAM to the gills has to be weighed against that. Seems like trading up to a full 2 GB would have some unquantified benefits. The only ways to find out are to find another iMac to compare with or to put in the RAM and see what happens.

[search] unlocked Bios for MSI GE70 2PE ApachePro

Hallo,
first, please excuse my bad english. I am new here.
I search a fully unlocked bios for the current bios version from the MSI GE70 2PE ApachePro notebook. For example, I want to change some fan settings to stop the fan in idle.
The official locked bios you can finde here: www . msi . com/support/nb/GE70_2PE_Apache_Pro.html#down-bios&Win8.1%2064
Big thanks for your help.
Best regards
hugoi

Hello svet,
i have sent you a little donation. Your work is probably more worth, but I am only a student and i hope maybe you can help me anyway. I dont know, "unlock" is maybe the wrong word. I want to use all features that have a normal bios too.
Can you help me with this problem?
Best regards

DDR3 RAM specification for MSI Z77A-GD65

Hello MSIers ,
I am about to buy the MSI Z77A-GD65 or GD55 not sure yet ... I used Gigabyte boards for 10 years and they always state to use 1.5 volt RAM sticks ...
Now for MSI and the mention board , what voltage should I pick ? I want 2 sticks of 4GB DDR3 1600MHz and might look to faster frequencies like 2333 MHz ??? will it work with an I7 3770 right out the box (if I load XMP in BIOS) ? can lower latencies or CAS as well ?
Thanks

Allot of the mushkin comes pre-under-timed (the xmp profile does anway) As that computer is an AMD platform, I need to match the xmp profile and adjust the fsb/ dram ratio to get the correct speed & timings. Both of those listed computers are quite stable.
The corsair memory I have listed has an xmp profile of 11-11-11-30, I manually under-timed that when I was tweaking. That is the lowest I could go and maintain stability.
One thing to keep in mind when you look at memory, is that almost all that you see out there is 1333 memory which has been tested and tuned (Overclocked) to w/er limit. Even ddr3-1600 you buy will by default run at 1333 as the 1600 is an XMP profile extension to the SPD. So no matter what you buy over 1333, you are most likely going to need to at minimum enable the xmp profile or at worst tinker with the speed & timings manually.
Nice .. Thank you ..
So what DDR3 freq. / timings you suggest for the best performance and stil very stable (as long as I (most likely) need to tinker a bit around the BIOS and XMP) ? I am gonna use the I7 3770 locked version CPU
You advice or against , maybe 2000 freq or more DDR3 with the Z77AGD65 ? or you advice with choosing a lower latency modules but at 1600 MHz freq like this http://www.mushkin.com/Memory/Redline/997056.aspx ?

Happy to report (Ram upgrade for Mac mini))

Hello All,
I would like to share this info with you, just in case someone wanted to add more Ram to their Mac mini.
I purchased 2X4GB Kingston DDR3 Ram and followed instructions that I found on YouTube and other sources to replac my 2GB Mac mini.
The Kingston ram is very cheap KVR1066D3S7/4G but you should evaluate how much Ram you will need.
If I knew that I will only need 4GB then I would have saved my money in a warmer place (my pocket).
Anyway here is the info of my Mac mini after the RAM upgrade:
Hardware Overview:
Model Name:          Mac mini
Model Identifier:          Macmini3,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          3 MB
Memory:          8 GB
Bus Speed:          1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version:          MM31.0081.B06
SMC Version (system):          1.35f0

I'm not sure what your point is here. How does one actually "evaluate" how much RAM you think you need?         I think most would agree that a RAM upgrade is one of the best performance boosters for the money and the simple rule is the more RAM the better. I have a new Mac Mini with 2.3 GHz i5 processors and upgraded to 8GB of RAM from Crucial.com (complete with instructions so you don't have to search YouTube) and noticed an immediate performance increase when working with multiple applications and while playing iTunes, etc. The Crucial upgrade was only $59.99 for 8GB kit and I think the 4GB kit was only $20 cheaper so it doesn't make sense to not get thte 8GB kit.

Maximum RAM upgrade for Mac Mini mid-2010?

Hi,
I have a Mac Mini mid-2010 (Model 4.1). I purchased it with 4 Gb RAM, and I am now considering a RAM upgrade.
I currently am running OS 10.95 - and not particularly happy with the sluggish performance that has been the hallmark of my 'upgrade' to Mavericks on this machine. I figure that increasing RAM can only help what has become a sometimes teeth-gnashingly slow computer.
In any case, the Apple tech specs document says that the maximum RAM for this machine is 8 Gb. However, the macmemory.com web page for this model Mac Mini says it can handle 16 Gb so long as the OS is 10.7 or greater.
Is this true? Anyone tried this?
Thanks,
HJ

Memory capabilities:
Maximum Memory
16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)

RAM upgrade for MBP 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

I have a MBP 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo currently with 2 GB of RAM and with all the work I do on it I would like to upgrade to 4 GB. Purchasing the RAM through Apple is out of the question because it so expensive.
I would like to know what is the best brand to buy and on what website.. Is an upgrade to 4 GB possible for my MBP? It looks like I have my "Bank 0/DIMM0" filled with 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM 667 MHz and my "Bank 1/DIMM1" filled with the same thing. Does this mean that both of my RAM slots are full AND if I want to upgrade my RAM I'll have to purchase 2 sets of 2 GB RAM? Please help as I am new to all of the tech stuff...
Another side note... I've noticed that some discussions have stated that some MBP are only upgradable to 3 GB of RAM, but I'm pretty sure that I can upgrade mine to 4 GB of RAM. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Your help is much appreciated...

yes, both of your RAM slots are full, so to get 4GB you will have to get 2 2GB sticks. Having the same model I can safely assure you that it will recognize all 4GB of the new Ram.
as for brands, there have been many I have seen recommended on this board, but one name seems to pop up consistently is Kensington, I picked up my ram from the store I bought my laptop at, so I couldn't recommend a site, sorry

Custom bios for MSI GE70 2OC

Hello
I have a MSI GE70 2OC with Windows 8.
My BIOS is E1757IMS.511 build 08/27/2013, EC Version is 1757EMS1 Ver. 5.06, build 07/30/2013.
I saw in another topic that in modified bios FAN behaviour can be changed? I really don't like that FAN is always on when on AC power.
What else can be changed or what hidden functions has my BIOS?
TIA

Ram upgrade for 2010 15" MBP

What options do have to upgrade the RAM in a 2010 15" MBP?

Check this link at Crucial.com. They have reliable/compatible RAM upgrades. It appears you can go as high as 8GB.

RAM upgrade for a Satellite A100-847

I would like to upgrade the RAM for my A100-847 from my current 512 MB by adding another module for 512 MB but i face a compatibility problem because looking at the manual the only compatible modules are the following:
256 MB: PA3389U-1M25
512 MB: PA3412U-1M51
1 GB: PA3411U-1M1G
I tried looking for a module with these codes but I didn't find any in Romania. I could find a module from another manufacturer with the same specification but I don't know if these would function properly .
So I need some advice .
Thanks,
Bobby

Hi,
which manufacturer you have seen? If they have the same specs, then they should fit. The best decision would be to take some kingston or crucial modules. They were tested to work well with toshibas, so just consider buying some kingstons with the specs of the original toshiba modules and have fun with them.
In case of some further question just ask.
Greetings
